BMW M5 suspension.

The fundamentally revised BMW M5 suspension fully highlights the vehicle’s enormous dynamic potential. The vehicle features a wider front track, adjusted springs and harder stabilisers as well as a unique calibration of the Variable Damper Control, all of which work together to provide a distinctly athletic driving style.

M xDrive.

BMW M xDrive with Active M differential guarantees maximum traction and driving dynamics for everyday driving and at the racetrack. The M specific technology combines the typical agility of a rear-wheel drive with the control of an all-wheel drive.

8-speed M Steptronic transmission.

The 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic features extremely short shifting times and numerous shifting options: from very athletic and dynamic to comfortable and fuel-efficient. The gears can also be shifted manually with the gear lever, or via gearshift paddles on the steering wheel.

M Carbon ceramic brake.

With the optional M Carbon ceramic brake, the use of braking power is even more direct, it is corrosion-free, even more heat-resistant, greatly reduced in wear and contributes to weight savings, which has a positive effect on agility, dynamics and acceleration. The special technical equipment is visible through calipers in the colour gold matt with M lettering on the outside. Due to specific material properties, increased operating noise may occur during braking, e.g. in case of prolonged, low load or in wet conditions shortly before vehicle standstill. The design-related noise can be avoided by braking the brake dry in case of wetness or loading the brake more heavily after a long, low braking load. The influence of wetness and road salt cause brake effectiveness to correspond to that of a conventional brake system. This reduced braking power can be compensated for with a greater pressure on the pedal. The functional noises have no influence on the performance, operational safety and stability of the brake.

M Servotronic.

In every driving situation, M Servotronic delivers the right steering power, by adjusting to suit the current driving speed. In addition, it delivers a direct and precise steering feel at any speed. The system is specifically calibrated for the M line and offers three different settings that can be selected with the push of a button.

M sports exhaust system.

The M sports exhaust system delivers a dynamic sound that can be modified via the integrated exhaust valve mechanism. The SPORT and SPORT+ programmes, which can be selected via the Driving dynamics buttons, are accentuated by an even more intense engine sound, while the comfort-oriented programme prioritises more discreet engine acoustics

The characteristic M side air vent element in Black high-gloss with the M5 model designation, which adds a pronounced three-dimensional athletic touch, underscores the dynamic combination of technical perfection and breathtaking design that has been synonymous with M vehicles since day one.

Intelligent lightweight design concept.

As part of the intelligent lightweight design concept, the M Carbon roof made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) and the aluminium bonnet help reduce the vehicle weight, improving driving dynamics. The visible carbon structure and M specific line on the roof and bonnet emphasize the vehicle's athletic potential.

Rear apron in Black high-gloss.

The high-gloss Black rear apron of the M5 Competition underlines its sporty character and gives the vehicle an unmistakeable identity.

M rear spoiler in Black high-gloss.

The M rear spoiler in Black high-gloss emphasises the car's athletic silhouette and significantly reduces unwanted lift. By producing downforce it provides the vehicle with added traction on the rear axle at high speeds and thus greater directional stability.

M specific twin tailpipes.

The M specific twin tailpipes with a chrome trim bear visible and audible testament to the vehicle's athletic performance.

M Multifunctional seats.

The M Multifunctional seats for the driver and front passenger in exclusive design and with illuminated M5 logo reflect the vehicle's athletic look.

M gear lever with Drivelogic.

The switch for choosing the three Drivelogic shifting settings is next to the M logo on the upper side of the M gear lever. The P button for the parking lock is directly beneath them. In manual "S" mode, the driver can shift gears manually using the selector lever in typical M fashion; in "D" mode, shifting occurs automatically.

M leather steering wheel.

The Double-spoke design M leather steering wheel includes multifunction buttons, the M emblem, chrome detailing, M1 and M2 buttons and an integrated driver-side airbag. Featuring a steering wheel rim in black leather with colour contrast stitching and contoured thumb rests, it feels great in the hand.

Start-Stop button in red.

The focused character in the BMW M5 is even apparent in the details: the red start/stop button and the red M1/M2 buttons on the M leather steering wheel along with the red accents on the M gear shift lever testify to the motor racing genes of the BMW M5.
